Daily Bible Reading Day 126

1Kings 10-11; Luke 24:1-35. Solomon's fame and wisdom spread over the nations and the Queen of Sheba arrives to check him out. She's impressed. Who is the Queen of Sheba? indeed, not only does Solomon's wisdom seem to increase but so does his wealth. His ships bring in 666 talents of gold in one year. Does that mean each year or only that one year? In spite of his wisdom Solomon allows his foreign wives to turn his heart away from God and not walk in the manner of his father, David. God raises up three adversaries against Solomon because his departure from walking in the ways of The Lord. The peace that Solomon experienced at first is now gone.

Jesus is raised from the dead. Some women go to the tomb. Two angels greet them and tell them to go tell the others. Peter arrives, looks in, and goes back home. Jesus appears to two disciples walking to Emmaus. They are down-hearted. Jesus explains the Scriptures concerning him to them. When he has bread with them at the home of one of them, their eyes are opened and they go tell the others what happened.
